Hi Everyone, As advertised, I published my September 2010 Roll Call last night. If anyone did not get one, and wants one, let me know, and I will get it to you in PDF format. If PDF does not work for you, let me know, and we can try something else. I have two people wanting in on the next edition. I do not know when that will be coming out. If anyone has ideas of how often we can publish, let me know your ideas. Yours, Joan Schaefer

Dee, It's not common but women have and do marry much younger men all the time.  Old geezers have done it for centuries, why not women?  Right?  My grandmother married a man 18 years her junior and they were married 35 years until she died.  Then when he became ill a few years later, he came to live with us until he died.  My mom and her brother always laughed that their "father" was just one year older than his "son" and three years older than his "daughter". I think some people enter names into their trees just to have a high count.  I've been asked by several people, "how many people do you have in your tree?" and, of course, I can't answer them because I don't keep count, and I have several different trees on my computer. On ancestry.com, all the "trees" I have there are private.  People have to contact me if they want information.  My reason for doing that is because my trees are a work in progress and there could be errors which I haven't caught yet.  I don't want anyone to copy my errors and post them all over the web for others to copy.  Since I work on trees for others, I try to keep things private and separate.  Maybe when I finally connect to Adam and Eve, I'll combine all my various trees into one. Ignore previous post.  I made an error in my first sentence and when I tried to erase it, I accidentally tapped the mouse on the "send" button and couldn't stop it from going to the list.

I sent a page from the Confederate Service Records for William M. Isaacs. I hope that helps answer some questions.

Elden, The Records of Louisiana Confederate Soldiers & Confederate Commands. Vol. I-III, indicate the following: “Isaacs, William, Hall's Co. Orleans Fire Regt. La. Mil. Appears on Roll not dated.” This indicates that he was a member of one of the many militia units that were organized in New Orleans at the outbreak of the Civil War. William Isaacs was in a company, Hall’s Company, of the Orleans Fire Regiment. You will find the Orleans Fire Regiment in a list of Louisiana Civil War military units here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana_Civil_War_Confederate_Units I have read a little about the preparations made by these militia units. Charles L. Dufour, in his THE NIGHT THE WAR WAS LOST, talks about these preparations. Mostly the references are to getting organized, "drilling," and making uniforms. For example: "Volunteers organized and drilled on the Levee, in public parks, squares, streets, and even 'in the marts of commerce the drum-beats and the blare of trumpets drowned the busy hum of trade.' Uniforms became commonplace on every corner." Also: "New Orleans was rapidly taking on the appearance of an armed camp. Tailors worked day and night to complete colorful uniforms for Turcos, Zouaves, Chasseurs, and dozens of others. Seamstresses kept their sewing machines humming as they turned out company colors for the various units, and young and old were seized with military ardor and patriotism." And this: "Upon receipt of the news of Fort Sumter, Governor Moore issued the call for all volunteer troops of Louisiana to assemble with arms and equipment at the earliest moment at their armories. In New Orleans, the citizen soldiers hastened to respond, and the sound of drum and fife and marching men filled the streets of the city at all hours of the day, and even at night." But Dufour also says this: "Many of the troops were poorly armed, or not at all, and many were in need of training." Robert C. Reinders in his book, END OF AN ERA: NEW ORLEANS, 1850-1860, says: "Volunteer soldiers had to furnish their own uniforms, but the state and city aided in providing some of their equipment. But right up to the Civil War the local militia was poorly equipped. Reports from the state arsenal in New Orleans revealed a chronic shortage of rifles and small arms, though the shortage might perhaps have been considered a blessing in disguise, for many of the guns were unsafe, if not positively dangerous to use. The Federal government gave the state of Louisiana between 200 and 300 muskets yearly--an insufficient number to meet the demands of an expanding militia." Presumably some of the more "professional" units (those militia units that pre-dated the outbreak of the war) had weapons, but many did not. My guess has always been that the militia units my ancestors were in met infrequently (based on limited roll calls) and that they were not trained or truly prepared to protect the city. The evidence I have found indicates that these militia units may have met only a few times. The record of William Isaacs’ service is apparently found on only one undated muster roll. Here are a couple of examples of what these muster rolls look like: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hellmers/anc_and_des/03_geeck/geeck_images/hmil0006.jpg and http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hellmers/anc_and_des/05_neff/neff_images/hmil0004.jpg Most of my male ancestors and their brothers of the right age can be found in one of these militia units. Copies of these muster rolls were available (before Hurricane Katrina) at the Jackson Barracks Military Library. I went there personally and they were able to provide me with photocopies of the rolls. It appears that they are back in business. You can find the contact information here: http://www.la.ngb.army.mil/dmh/jbml.htm They MAY be able to provide you with a copy of the one undated muster roll. This is likely the only record that you will find of his military service. The muster roll will show you who else was in the same unit. The rolls occasionally show the person’s address and occupation. If you Google “Orleans Fire Regiment,” you might find some reference to their activities. These militias were organized with the purpose of defending New Orleans. Instead of fighting, New Orleans chose to surrender and spare the destruction of the city. In April 1862, after the fall of New Orleans, these groups were disbanded. I'm curious about where you found the information about your William M. Isaacs being in Halls Fire Brigade. Good luck and let us know how you do with the Jackson Barracks Military Library.

I have just sent off my current draft of the Roll Call documents to everyone on my current list. If you want to get onto the list, I am trying to finalize by 10 Sep 2010. The following is the concept, followed by my current list. It seems that we need some clarification about what Roll Call is. The members of the list have given me a set of names that they are researching. One of the documents that I provided to you early Wednesday morning was a list of the names that each person was researching and the researcher's name and email address, in email address order. Each person being researched by that researcher was on one line of the document. That document started off as an Excel Spreadsheet. I then took the document, and sorted it on the first column. That means that everyone in the group researching a certain name will have that name drawn together with all of the other researchers, pulling the email addresses together. The point is to inform you of who else is interested in the surnames that you are researching. Since not everyone is able to deal with Microsoft Excel, and almost everyone is capable of dealing with PDF files, I converted my outcome to PDF files. Since the LAORLEAN List cannot take on attachments, I took the list of email addresses from the document, and split it in half, and sent the two documents to each name on the list. Also, I sent an email to the LAORLEAN List with the list of email addresses that I had sent to. Thus, if your address what not on that list, you need to tell me what your old email address was, and I will change the document. If you were not on the old document, I'll need to get your list of names being researched. Is this being helpful yet?

I would suggest that when you are looking up Catholic Church records that you have a LATIN TO ENGLISH dictionary nearby. I suspect that any church records prior to 1950 were in most cases recorded in LATIN.

FYI I just posted all the references to the surname Hotard which appear in Kenneth B Toup's book "Bourgeois Lines" on the [email protected] mailing list..... if anyone on the LAORLEAN list would like to have these, you can browse or search there. It should be the most recent posting as this is not a very active list. Blessings for Carolyn who made this possible by making the book available to me. You could also contact me off list and I'll send to you privately. Or I could do a look-up for another surname. Renee in St. Louis

Cheramie, in case you didn't receive my email to you--the G. Davis and L. Martin marriage was listed in N.O. Genesis,June,1980 edition as ocurring at St. Louis Cathedral, Marriage Register number 16 (1885-1891), page 389. Mr. Belsom can send you the church record from this information.
